Mutants, alcoholics and waaaay outta town
I was working out of town today. Waaay out of town and it required catching the BUS (Oh yes, capitals are very necessary … read on) Now, I HATE buses. Loathe them and not just for the fact that they make you feel like you ate 15 donuts and then invited a small child to [...]

Murmurations
The Somerset Levels is an area of reclaimed wetland around Glastonbury and Wells, which as well as being wonderfully pretty countryside is home to one of the most spectactular natural events I have ever seen.
